I'm trying to generate a low resolution image on a VGA monitor with arbitrary colors per "pixel". I know there's not enough memory to allow a full screen bitmap, but I'm looking for something like an 80x60 bitmap with arbitrary colors for each "pixel" of the image (block of pixels to fill the screen). My thought was to make a bitmap out of one of the VGA Text drivers, but I don't see any of them that do individual colors per character. I don't need the character, and would gladly trade the character data for color data. It looks like I could do something like this with the VGA_512x384_Bitmap_Demo, and use the colors array for the pixels and ignore the pixels array, but that's a little bit too low resolution (16x12) and even more of a waste by not using the pixels.

Any ideas? I tried searching, but I'm not even really sure of the search terms I'm looking for.

Thanks,
Pat
